HOW TO SUCCEED's Sarah O'Gleby to Join the Cast of SILENCE! 5/4

By:

Beginning this Saturday, May 4th, Sarah O'Gleby will be the new Dream Clarice in Off-Broadway's smash hit Silence! The Musical at the Elektra Theatre.

Sarah O'Gleby just returned from L.A. after serving as Assistant Choreographer for The Oscars hosted by Seth MacFarlane. Broadway credits include HOW TO SUCCEED... starring Daniel Radcliffe (Assistant Choreographer); PROMISES, PROMISES and CHAPLIN. London's West End: MAMMA MIA!, GUYS AND DOLLS, CANDIDE, A FUNNY THING..., FOOTLOOSE, and WE WILL ROCK YOU. Sarah also appeared on NBC's "Smash."

2012's Off Broadway Alliance Award winner for Best Musical, Silence! The Musical is the unauthorized parody of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, with book by Hunter Bell, music & lyrics by Jon and Al Kaplan, and direction & choreography by Tony Award winner Christopher Gattelli. After opening initially at Theatre 80 on July 9, 2011 to unanimous rave reviews, SILENCE! was extended numerous times by popular demand and transferred theatres twice, ultimately landing at the new Elektra Theatre in Times Square which was constructed especially for the show. SILENCE! was also selected by Time Magazine as one of 2011's Top 5 Musicals (on or Off-Broadway).

Winner of five Oscars including Best Picture, the classic film THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS follows rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling as she matches wits with the brilliant but insane cannibal, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, to catch the serial killer known only as Buffalo Bill. Clarice faces her own demons while racing the clock to unlock Lecter's clues before another innocent girl is killed and skinned by Buffalo Bill. The laugh-out-loud raunchy satire, Silence! The Musical, features a singing chorus of floppy-eared lambs narrating the action as Buffalo Bill gleefully dances a hoedown while kidnapping hapless, plus-sized Catherine Martin. Even Dr. Lecter, creepy as ever, sings about the life he'd like to lead someday outside the prison walls.

With Sean McDermott (star of Broadway's MISS SAIGON, GREASE, FALSETTOS and STARLIGHT EXPRESS) as Hannibal Lecter, the cast of SILENCE! also features Laura Jordan (as Clarice Starling), David Ayers, Callan Bergmann, Howard Kaye, Tyler Maynard, Ronica V. Reddick, Kevin Spirtas, Kimberly Stern, and Natalie Joy Johnson.

Created by Jon and Al Kaplan in 2002, Silence! The Musical began as a collection of songs on the internet which immediately attracted a staggering number of fans. The Kaplans' subsequent screenplay Silence! The Musical was adapted by Hunter Bell into a live stage show, which also featured newly composed songs by the brothers. Fueled by a rabid cult following, SILENCE! shattered every box office record at the 2005 FringeNYC Festival, winning the award for Best Musical. SILENCE! met with further success in London and Los Angeles, where the production received three L.A. Drama Critics Circle Awards.

SILENCE! The Musical has hosted an unusually large number of celebrity attendees including Jodie Foster, Matt Bomer (twice), Joan Rivers, Perez Hilton, Kelly Ripa, Jonathan Demme, James Earl Jones, Josh Groban, Rachel Dratch, Justin Kirk, T.R. Knight, Jonathan Groff, Andy Dick, Ben Schwartz, Corbin Bleu, Richard Kind, Lisa Lampanelli, Willie Garson, Neil Simon, Steven Pasquale, Lindsey Shaw, Erin Cummings, Jeremy Jordan, Mario Cantone, David LaChapelle, Stephen Schwartz, Linus Roache, Alec Mapa, Christine Lakin, Christian Campbell, James Lapine, Chad Allen, Heather Matarazzo, John Kander, Chita Rivera, Will Swenson, Georgia Engel, Danny Burstein, Barrett Foa, Vicki Lewis, John Billingsley, Tovah Feldshuh, and Stephen Flaherty.

Produced by Theater Mogul, Silence! The Musical runs 90 minutes with no intermission and the playing schedule is Saturdays at 2 & 7 PM and Sundays at 5 PM at the Elektra Theatre, 669 Eighth Avenue (at 42nd St.) Tickets are available by calling 212-352-3101 or through www.SilenceTheMusical.com.
